In a wonderful synthesis of science, history, and imagination, Gino Segrè, an internationally renowned theoretical physicist, embarks on a wide-ranging exploration of how the fundamental scientific concept of temperature is bound up with the very essence of both life and matter. Why is the internal temperature of most mammals fixed near 98.6š? How do geologists use temperature to track the history of our planet? Why is the quest for absolute zero and its quantum mechanical significance the key to understanding superconductivity? And what can we learn from neutrinos, the subatomic "messages from the sun" that may hold the key to understanding the birth-and death-of our solar system? In answering these and hundreds of other temperature-sensitive questions, Segrè presents an uncanny view of the world around us.

读后感

好在我们还有知的快乐。 生活中没有价值的事太多，如果你有高中物理化学和生物的基础，这本书绝对帮助你试着挑战自己去接近世上最有智慧的大脑。 真正的而大师之作教你领略什么叫深入浅出。 反观我们的官僚学者，实在面目可憎，搞得校园几乎成了没有温度的死寂荒漠。

芒格推荐的书。年底了，要赶赶工了，站在洗手间里读到一点半总算读完。

As I grow older, I feel more the need to integrate the experience of my life, to find patterns of connection in them that tie me to family, to community.
